Sabéis que no va dimitir, verdad? Conocéis a alguien de ese partido que dimita? Pues eso, dejará correr el tiempo y, en las próximas elecciones, mayoría absoluta. Os suena Madrid, no?

@modulux No solo tenía que dimitir, sino que tenía que adelantar elecciones. No es él solo, es todo el partido en Valencia.

Habrá que ver, pero yo creo que no tiene mucha escapatoria. La ha cagado demasiado y el partido se puede buscar a otro.

A diagram depicting a molecule labeled “FORMALDEHYDE” has an Oxygen atom connected by double bonds to a Carbon atom which in turn is connected to two Hydrogen atoms. The diagram resembles a stick figure without arms. A second diagram showing the stick figure dressed in cargo shorts and floral shirt is labeled “CASUAL-DEHYDE”

Today is a good day to remember the time I told my Jewish grandmother, who had been an officer in the Red Army all through WWII, about the debate over punching Nazis.

"This is trick question," she said, narrowing her eyes. "When you are done punching, Nazi is still alive, yes?"

„Chcete naznačit, že jsem nudnej?“ Hřib vysvětluje, jak chce zachránit Piráty

Zdeněk Hřib se stal novým lídrem Pirátské strany. Před sebou má těžký úkol: zastavit klesající trend preferencí a dostat stranu opět do Sněmovny. Sám se nechystá být lídrem do Poslanecké sněmovny a ani tam neplánuje kandidovat.

Spanish often has an H where most other Romance languages have an F.

Take 'hijas' (daughters) vs. French 'filles', Italian 'figlie', Portuguese 'filhas'.

In Old Spanish, Latin [f] became an [h] sound.

Later, this sound disappeared.

K dnešnímu celostátnímu fóru Pirátů mám jednu myšlenku.
Poslouchal jsem zhruba 40 minut poté, co byl zvolen předsedou Zdeněk Hřib. Na pořadu bylo „snížení byrokratické zátěže a převedení pravomocí pod jiné subjekty ve straně, nejčastěji vedení“.

Korektně zaznívaly argumenty pro i proti. Zdeněk Hřib argumentoval, že centralizace moci je ve snaze urychlit procesy ve straně - že je to žádoucí i ze strany voličů, neboť příští volby prý projedou.

@Robin Bedrunka 🐞 Myslím, že Piráty budu muset pečlivě sledovat, protože se mi zdá, že se kloní k normální středopravé straně, jako je STAN. A proč volit STAN s dětinským jménem Piráti, když lze volit originál. Ovšem Piráty jsem volil pro to, čím se od STANu aspoň potenciálně odlišovali. Obávám se, že příští volby pro mne budou poněkud složité.

Having a weird issue with #NVDA on Windows 10 22H2 (AMD64) build 19045.5011. While using explorer, deleting files or pasting files doesn't seem to automatically refresh the folder view. Is this a screen reader issue or windows issue?

I'm not aware of an issue - and just checked GitHub and can't see anything similar there. Has it happened since you updated NVDA, or Windows? (And whichever one, have you restarted the PC lately?) For NVDA, the only other thing I can think to try first off, is press NVDA+q, then down arrow to "Restart with add-ons disabled" and press enter to do that and see if that changes the behaviour.

This account recently turned two years old. I'm one of the many emigrees from Twitter that started to dabble with Mastodon in November 2022 in the wake of the Musk take over.

My account on Twitter isn't *that* old either, only starting in early 2022. I had long thought to close my account there when reaching 1000 followers here (I have almost 3000 on Twitter), but this consideration changed recently after Mark Nelson convinced me during the Luxembourg pro-nuclear event two weeks ago.

I'll first observe that my followerbase has been growing much slower than I first anticipated and perhaps hoped. I just hit 650 and this has several causes. One is that people on Mastodon perhaps just don't care, following degrowth logics. Maybe my style of posting also doesn't 'connect', but most importantly, I think, is that the mass adoption of Mastodon and the wider fediverse hasn't happened yet.

Many that tried Mastodon in the November 2022 wave, weren't prepared that they needed to put in some work to get a filled timeline, due to a lack of algorithm serving as an onboarding mechanism. Most people just don't care and rejoined Twitter/X or, later, Threads.

This mass adoption can still happen, probably via the route of Threads fully implementing ActivityPub (still pending after 1.5 year...). Either way, Mastodon et al are still a very safe bet if we look further into the future. It can only grow on the long term, say a decade.

But for now, the 'Twitter bubble' regarding accounts posting on energy, politicians, journalists, even many people on the far left don't care about setting up shop on the fediverse... yet. As an activist aiming to influence to get nuclear energy wider adoption, this is a hindrance to my primary function of caring at all about social media.

For now, I'll remain on Twitter, be it that I'll post more 'strategically', in line with my goals. The fediverse is still my long term bet. We just started this journey, on towards a future of an open web!

Can't say I agree, but I understand. Yes, there's a lot of degrowth positions around, which makes it hard to get heard against that norm.

Do you like psych in tech and want to see it more valued? Some suggestions for folks in tech that have helped me directly:

- if you have presence in org-legible places, post about our work in places our bosses see it, like linkedin (I know, I know 😭 ). It can be as simple as "loved this! [link]" boom!
- we're often judged on engagement numbers (I know 😭). Post things like our preprints (osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/qz43…) in community groups, or employee channels. Who knows maybe you'll find friends!

Yes, it’s true that 54% of US adults struggle with reading, although the grade level equivalence is a dubious inference. I study this, so I want to share a few insights: namely that this trend isn’t unique to the US and better understanding the data has more implications than you may realize. /1

@modulux @hypostase ps. speaking as someone who studies cultures among technical people specifically (!) I think there is a lot of assumption in your argument that these are deeply neutral actions vs that they perpetuate a kind of context culture; I mean there's a REASON I get this kind of flak more than my many friends on this platform with extremely different looking avatars than mine eh

Ok, first off I do consider you a nerd, you're a research scientist, how much nerdier does it get? I was generalising and, perhaps, not using language precisely enough.

I do agree that there are values in conflict, hence my point that treating text like that has problems as well. I just get the feeling that there are a lot of people on the fedi with experiences like what I described, could be wrong about this and it could be something else; it would be interesting to know. I do hope that you are welcome here, and, as I said, I do try to adapt to my interlocutor's interaction style and I think we should all try to be mindful of this if possible.

And regarding whether the "social indifference" is omnidirectional, for myself, I can't see avatars (not a metaphor, I'm blind) and most of the time I have no real expectations of the gender or other physical characteristics of people. But I'm also convinced that you're right people get treated differently according to those sorts of factors. I hope the fedi becomes more welcoming in this regard.

#Caturday morning cinnamon roll.
Photo of a grey and brown tabby with stripes on his face and tail and black spots on his haunches. The camera has zoomed in on his tightly curled form where he has fallen asleep leaning against a colorful green and yellow cushion on the sofa, so we mostly see his sweet face, eyes closed tights as tiger stripes, hugging the soft pillow of his small body, his nose tucked into the tail that encircles him. The cat, my shy boy Snufkin, is curled so tightly he could be a snail in its shell or, yes, a cinnamon roll, warm and cozy and lightly frosted with white where his whiskers spray and the fur of his belly peeks out along his cheek.

@matt I allow comments on my podcast site without requiring logins or captchas, but I use a lightweight Naive Bayes model (under 100 lines of code and no dependencies) to filter out spam. It works almost perfectly—maybe because most spam isn’t in German or because the site has relatively low traffic. I was genuinely surprised at how effective this approach has been.

🇫🇷📅 Tal día como hoy, un 18 de brumario de 1799, se llevó a cabo un golpe de Estado contra el gobierno de la Primera República, el Directorio. Este golpe puso fin a la Revolución francesa y dio inicio al periodo napoleónico.

PD: ¡viva el calendario republicano!

Este cuadro se titula Le général Bonaparte au Conseil des Cinq-Cents (El General Bonaparte en el Consejo de los Quinientos) y fue pintado por François Bouchot en 1840. Representa un momento crucial en la historia de Francia, cuando Napoleón Bonaparte disolvió el Consejo de los Quinientos el 10 de noviembre de 1799, marcando el fin del Directorio y el inicio del Consulado, que lo llevaría a convertirse en Primer Cónsul y posteriormente en emperador. La escena muestra el caos y la oposición de algunos miembros del consejo mientras Bonaparte, al centro y vestido de uniforme militar, asume el control político.
